Crowd evacuation calculator

Enter the basics about your exits, the number of people and the conditions of the evacuation. From that we estimate the flow of people and show how the pace of clearing the site may change over time.

Set the available exits. Generated by AI.

Set the available exits

Add the exits people can use during an evacuation. Give their width and mark any constraints that may reduce the usable width of the opening.

Set the pace of movement

How fast people move depends on the conditions during an evacuation. Pick a ready-made profile, or enter your own assumption if you want to run a particular scenario.

Evacuation progress over time

Below is the estimated number of people who may have left the site at each point. It is a forecast from the parameters you set, not a measurement of a real evacuation.

Evacuation pace

The length of each bar shows how many people — under the model used here — may leave the site in that time.

5 min evacuated: 1,360
10 min evacuated: 2,720
15 min evacuated: 4,080
20 min evacuated: 5,000

The calculations run in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere.

These results are indicative and rest on assumptions about how people flow. Real evacuation times may differ depending on conditions on site and on how the crowd behaves.
